Annexation of the West Bank is "off the table" and Israel has agreed not
to do it, President Donald Trump said late Thursday night, breaking
with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who had earlier said that the
peace deal with the UAE only temporarily delayed application of Israeli
sovereignty.
Brilliant move by Trump and Netanyahu. Annexation was proving unworkable but both committed so much political capital to it. This lets them get away with dropping it and they still can say they accomplished something.
